President Obama is having just as much trouble on the golf court these days as the oft-injured Tiger Woods. He apologized on Sunday – well, sort of – for going to play golf immediately after the execution of an American journalist.

Rep. John Campbell, Republican of Orange County, Calif., told MarketWatch he was not expecting the elections on Tuesday to come out the way they did. “Tuesday night’s election results really shocked us,” Campbell said. He said, consequentially, that he and other Republicans on the House Financial Services Committee are not sure at this stage what […]

The seeds of the Republican defeat in the 2012 election clearly have deep roots in the alienation of Latino voters since the end of the Bush presidency. President Barack Obama on Tuesday won a whopping 71% of the Latino vote, up from 67% in 2008. By contrast, John Kerry only managed to get about 53% […]

Their week-long sit-out in a contract dispute could make September’s U.S. jobs report look bleaker than Wall Street is expecting. Some 26,000 teachers walked off the job on Sept. 10 and the strike is entering its second week. A CNN report says the Chicago […]

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was widely misquoted in an ABC News interview Friday. Romney did not define middle income as between $200,000 and $250,000, as some outlets reported, but said: “middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less.” See full transcript.
